After going through the required medical standards, let us now move to the basic definitions of 6/6, 6/9, 6/12 and 6/18 vision. A candidate is asked to read a particular group of letters placed on a chart (Snellen Chart).

If a candidate reads out all the letters from a distance of 6 meters, he/she has normal 6/6 eye vision.
If you have 6/9 eye vision, it means you are reading letters from 6 meters whereas a normal eye can read those letters from a distance of 9 meters.
If you have 6/12 eye vision, it means you are reading letters from 6 meters whereas a normal eye can read those letters from a distance of 12 meters.
If you have 6/18 eye vision, it means you are reading letters from 6 meters whereas a normal eye can read those letters from a distance of 18 meters.
